Trial begins on water for proposed nuclear power plant

Scarpia,Could you please provide us with some answers. Where will we get
our energy from? More coal? More Gas? Solar? Wind?Nuclear is the only
logical answer. All evidence indicates this. 18 Billion dollars! I want it
spent in Utah. Did you know that radiation exposure is higher living next
to a coal fired power plant then it is next to a nuclear plant? Where do
the radioactive particles in coal go? The answer: Into the atmosphere.Whereas, the radioactive material from a nuclear plant is contained and
controlled.

To "Baron Scarpia" according to the NRC, all nuclear power plants are to
have a fund in place to cover their decomissioning.

We should allow
this because of the economic benefits, plus the added power that Utah could tap
into for future growth.

As for the fuel, why not reprocess the spent
rods. No more mining for new fuel is required.

With California shutting down one of its nuclear plants and its $4 billion price
tag, Utah policymakers need to think seriously about the economic implications
for building a nuclear power plant in our state. In California, Edison wants
all the ratepayers to pay for the closure costs of the nuclear plant -- in
essence socializing the cost -- rather than have the stockholders pay for the
closing. $4 billion is a lot of money, even in California. That $4 billion is
basically a massive subsidy for ONE nuclear power plant.

And the two
nuclear plants being built in Georgia currently got their construction costs
covered by Obama stimulus money. Again, another massive subsidy for the
industry.

Utahns have already been burned by uranium tailings in
Moab that took taxpayers to clean up that mess when the private companies went
bankrupt. Again, another subsidy for nuclear power.
